I still play the game and because of my lack of time, still feel like I would really get into it more if I just had more time to play...and this thing was released in July!!! It doesn't help that there are so many other huge releases since then, including NHL 09, Fallout 3, and now Gears 2 and other games.

I also prefer NCAA to Madden, even though I fully recognize that Madden is a much more polished (and perhaps even realistic) form of gameplay. The reason is that Madden games for 7th-gen consoles (360 and PS3) have failed to incorporate any of those fun Franchise elements and depth that were pretty well done in the PS2 versions. You could argue that NCAA has taken a step or two back in terms of Dynasty depth, but they've also taken several steps forward with online dynasties and the phonecall recruiting system. NCAA, with all its flaws, is just more fun to me.
